Why is it when a police officer gets shot and killed in the
line of duty that this is not a national story, or at least a headline on a
national news cast? I waited the day
yesterday to see how it would play out and frankly I am not surprised. I am disappointed in the media. A 21 year old Wisconsin State Patrol officer
was killed in the line of duty on Tuesday evening during a shootout with a bank
robber. Trevor Casper was just 3 months
in to his career as a State Patrolman when he was shot and killed. Where was the media reporting that a robber
shot and killed a cop? Why is it when
the shooter is an officer doing their job, taking down someone who is allegedly
fighting back that it is plastered all over the media, but when an officer dies
while doing their job, getting shot by a robber that that doesn’t lead the
news? I work in this business and I
don’t get it. All lives matter but do
some matter more than others? Didn’t I
read a book like that when I was in school?
